So i ended up getting a bulk course sponge and cutting it to size for the bottom tray. Along with one of the three fine pads that came with the canister. The second tray has the biomax that was in my HOB filters plus another 500gm box, for a total of 1Kg of biomax. The third tray has 250ml of...

I have heard of using the pot scrubbers. Are you using only those in your filter, or are they in one tray. Im guessing those would be considered course mechanical filtration. Also do you leave them together like they are in the bag or do you pull them apart. Also, i have a bag of polyester...

The other day I ordered a Sunsun HW-302 for my 25 gallon tank. What I'm wondering is what would be the best media to use, and what order should it go in the canister. My current filters are two Fluval C3 power filters that both have biomax in the basket that is intended for chemical...

Try playing the flow rate. All the way to the left should be the most flow from that bypass that trickles over the biopad into the media basket. All the way to the right is hardly any flow through that part at all. Sent from my SM-G900P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 25 gallon tank that i originally got some poor big box store advice on stocking and cycling. Before the tank was cycled I had 3 blue gouramis and 6 tiger barbs. Its been two months and the tank is finally now cycled. However, despite daily water changes to kep ammonia under...

Ph has been at 7.6-7.8. If I order it directly from their website, that should give me the best chance of it being fresh when it gets here, right? It's a bit worrisome since it would be getting shipped coast to coast

I have had my tank set up for going on a month and a half now. It is 25 gallons. I am using a Fluval C3 HOB filter, and I keep the temperature right at 80 degrees F. Also I use Seachem Price to declorinate. I apparently mistakenly trusted Tetra Safestart because I got 3 blue Gourami's and...

That's what I thought I was doing with Tetra Safe Start, Fluval Biological Enhancer, and API Stress Zyme. And I have read mixed reviews of efficacy for all of them including the Dr. Tim's product. And having spent close to $100 on these products already, I'm weary of spending more on something...

No, no bubbles when i shake it and, its completely clear. And as far as I can tell it only smells like ammonia

I have had my 25 gallon tank set up and running for about a month now. I have been using household ammonia to cycle the tank, Seachem prime for declorination, and have tried Tetra Safestart, Fluval Biological enhancer, and API Stress Zyme. I check the ammonia nitrite and nitrate levels every...

Thanks a lot

Hello everyone, I am new to the site and the aquarium hobby in general. I have just this past Sunday set up a 25 gal aquarium I'm using a Fluval C3 h.o.b. power filter. My questions are as follows -How long should I expect this tank to cycle and be ready to have fish added? I'm using...
